Greetings arrive on gossamer wings
the bright length of the day at hand breath -- a birth -- joy within us sings round a parlor tree -- the piano grand. Oh how I wish -- and wish on it again the lord himself on this his natal day -- ah so many lonely centuries it’s been -- would return in the jolly man’s sleigh. |

I love this one Richard!
I have no nits really - perhaps a few too many -- I appreciate they signify pauses. Perhaps just one - Perhaps I'm only saying this as I always used to use double -- until someone told me single ones were better. Don't know! Greetings arrive on gossamer wings the bright length of the day at hand breath -- a birth -- joy within us sings round a parlor tree -- the piano grand. Oh how I wish -- and wish on it again the lord himself on this his natal day -- ah so many lonely centuries it’s been -- would return in the jolly man’s sleigh. Please consider entering this in the Xmas Contest - closing date tomorrow. Happy Xmas Eira ·······  ·······Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
